MACHINES THAT INTERACT WITH MEN: to teach, test, and help to do a job

Abstract

The teaching machine is both an instrument and a natural development of activities pursued in experimental psychology. Whilst the earliest machine was devised by S. L. Pressey in 1920, none was developed for teaching purposes until the late 1940s when Professor Skinner of Harvard University realized the potentials of these machines in ‘programmed’ learning.
